Band Geeks!

In the "SpongeBob SquarePants" episode called "Band Geeks", Squidward Tentacles receives a telephone call from his old high school band rival Squilliam Fancyson, who is living out Squidward's dreams of success. Squilliam says he was supposed to play at the big "Bubble Bowl" (a sports stadium) next week but cannot attend. Knowing Squidward has no band, he asks him if his "band" could perform in his absence. Squilliam then makes fun of Squidward's lack of success. Squidward, not wanting to admit that he works at a fast food restaurant, says that he does have a band and that they would be glad to play at the Bubble Bowl. Of course, Squidward has no band, so he posts fliers around Bikini Bottom for people to join his marching band in preparation for the Bubble Bowl. He attracts a large group of people, which consists of SpongeBob, Patrick, Plankton, Pearl, Mr. Krabs, Larry the Lobster, Mrs. Puff, Sandy, and many "SpongeBob SquarePants" characters. Things start off badly when Squidward finds out that nobody in the group knows how to play any instruments properly. Their rehearsals are very unproductive and out of control, and the Bubble Bowl is only days away. The band is very terrible and shows no signs of progress. The day before the Bubble Bowl, Squidward yells at the band for being terrible, which causes the band to turn on itself with their instruments, and a brawl starts bickering until practice is over. Then, they all calmly start to leave, feeling satisfied with themselves. Squidward sadly tells them not to show up tomorrow for the Bubble Bowl because of their lack of progress, however SpongeBob convinces the group that they should continue practicing, because they shouldn't disappoint Squidward. The next day, Squidward, Squilliam, all of the band members show up and are stand by ready to play. They enter a glass dome and are lifted up into a realistic-looking football field to perform for a halftime show in front of live humans (though Squidward's band believes that they're mutant fish), making Squidward worry that he might embarrass himself in front of Squilliam and the humans. Fearing that he may never show his face in public again, Squidward worryingly gives the cue to start playing. Conversely, the band’s introduction is magnificent, and Squidward is surprised and feels proud of himself. He takes credit for their success when Squilliam appears next to the stage, who is watching the band in horror. The highly-choreographed band plays “Sweet Victory” with SpongeBob (singing voiced by David Glen Eisley) singing the lead.
